LOVE LOVE LOVE your post from today. I am excited to be reunited with my confidence!
can some one explain the sensation or feeling you experience in the second week after tt?it is the 11 day after for me and I have this feeling that things are moving and turning inside me and it is very ticklish inside they are not painful but spas feeling inside and i am sighing a lot and breathing a lot from my belly I am freaking out .I love my surgeon but I have to wait to see him tomorrow .And I have a urge to stretch my body so out of my control that i don't know if I have done it or caused any damage .Yes constipation is hellish and mind you I am so regular and I suffered for two days right when you come home start taking stole softeners they work the best .

Post op day 12: Got the drains removed this morning. Seriously, not one bit of pain. And he had them anchored so nicely that they never bothered me a bit while they were in. I just got tired of maneuvering around them when dressing and going to the bathroom. Having them gone feels excellent! Doc said I'm healing very nicely, but still healing and not to overdo any activity now just since I'm feeling better!

I really don't have a high pain tolerance, but this procedure and the recovery has not been anywhere near as bad as I had expected, or prepared myself for!

I went on March 15! We're close.
Are you still having lotsa swelling? I am, it's very frustrating!!
My swelling isn't too bad. Or maybe it just doesn't bother me because I am just so happy with my new belly!
Thanks for posting Columbus 2941. Your posts were very encouraging. One week from today, I will be on the table!
I'm glad I could be encouraging! I hope this week goes quickly for you, because I know how dreadful the anticipation is! I will be checking up on you!
Thank you, I am soo ansty today!!!
Your surgery sounds perfect!!! Lol not much pain at all!! I was in tears lol( but I'm not complaining) my pain tolerance Is low :) I'm happy now :) still awkward getting in car in bed and out. I wake up at night from the back pain I was a side sleeper so I'm surrounded by 5 pillows lol:)
Glad your doing awesome :)
Luckily, I'm a back sleeper, so that was never an issue. I really feel blessed that this has been such an easy road for me! I am glad you are feeling better, and it only gets better and BETTER! Bring on summer!
Yes bring it on!:) woohoo

I'm glad your confidence Is kicking in :) yay!!! Cheers to better and better days :)

First postop appointment today went well. This was this first peek I have had at my new tummy. One word: amazing. I could not be happier with how this whole experience has turned out, and I am only 5 days postop. Seriously a dream come true for me!!
